Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has made the surprise claim that there is a mole in his team’s dressing room.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, the Spaniard was unhappy with news of a bust-up between himself and the club’s medical staff reaching the press.

Guardiola is said to have been angered by the number of muscular injuries suffered by his players, and with their slow recovery time.

The former Barcelona boss is reported to have said: ‘Why do we have so many muscular injuries? Why does it take so long for our players to recover? Look at (Diego) Godin, look how quickly Atletico (Madrid) got him back.’

To which the medical staff responded: ‘You have everyone available bar (Arjen) Robben and (Holger) Badstuber.’

When asked about the story, Guardiola said: ‘I think these things should stay in the dressing room; I think there’s a mole. I don’t know who it is, but it doesn’t concern me.

‘It’s a problem for the club, I don’t have time to find the mole.’

Guardiola, whose Bayern side were knocked out of the Champions League semi-finals by Atletico Madrid, is poised to leave the club for a move to Manchester City at the end of the season.
